From Nanjing to xishuangbanna tourism

Compared with Lijiang, Xishuangbanna's online travel notes are much less. I am a lazy person, and I have contributed a little while the heat in Xishuangbanna has not dissipated. Women are incompetent. If you have any plans to go to Xishuangbanna, you might as well go and have a look.

DAY 1 It took nearly 3 hours to fly from Shanghai Pudong Airport to Kunming at 2 pm. The three-hour flight made me feel uncomfortable when I was about to catch a cold, the most dizzy in history. Fly from Kunming to Jinghong around 9 pm (Jinghong is the seat of Xishuangbanna state capital). Fortunately, it will arrive in an hour. We booked a hotel (Golden Banna Hotel) on Little P's website, and they arranged for the master to meet us at the airport. The master enthusiastically recommended tourist routes to us, but at the moment, my mother urgently needs a rest. I'm not interested in his travel plans at all. We have enough time to play, so I'm in no hurry. Master (surnamed Huang) is still very good and needs to contact again.

The purpose of our trip is to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery, so we don't want to be too tired. I wake up naturally almost every day. Anyway, I think that the free buffet breakfast provided by the hotel ends at 9: 00, and I often wake up naturally at 8: 30. After breakfast, we first went to Jinghong Bus Terminal (not South Bus Station) to inquire about flights to Menglun Botanical Garden and Wild Elephant Valley. Then I visited the indoor Man Ting Park and tropical garden. Tickets are all 40. Both are fine, but I think two parks and one is enough. For a park that is not very big, the tickets for 40 yuan are still a little expensive. The scenic spots or stations in the city can basically be reached by changing from No.2 to No.3 or No.4, but the buses in Jinghong are really small and broken. Although it is broken, there are many advertisements in the car and the electronic video display is quite new. At the general starting price of local taxis, 5 yuan money can get you to your destination.

On the third day, Menglun Botanical Garden. Highly recommended. We take the shuttle bus from the passenger station directly to the gate of the botanical garden. There are many shuttle buses from the bus station to the Botanical Garden, and the fare is 17 yuan. Botanical Garden is divided into East Zone and West Zone. The West District is a popular tourist area for tour groups. The layout of Baihua Garden and Palm Garden is very clear and not bad. But I think the east is a different feeling. Because fewer people go there and there are many species, it smells more like a virgin forest. From west to east, you can take a battery car, rent a bike at the Botanical Garden Hotel and walk there.

On the third day, Elephant Valley. Wild elephant valley without wild elephants. I only saw the so-called wild elephant footprints (the guide pointed to a muddy pond). Ordinary tourists seldom meet them. The tour guides there don't meet much all year round, but strangely, wild elephants can be seen every 3-8 festivals. Because I have just been to the Botanical Garden, I feel that the natural scenery of Wild Elephant Valley is also very general. In short, it is famous, but it is not worth it. It's still early to return to Jinghong from Wild Elephant Valley. We played the Lancang River rafting (120/ person). The river is very clear, the scenery along the river is good, and there are beach volleyball to play. But it is not so much drifting as sailing.

DAY4 Sky Tree The sky tree in the air corridor is 70-80 meters high. It is said that at first, international ecologists did not recognize Banna as a tropical rainforest climate, but it did not represent plants. Later, Cai discovered the sky tree, which is internationally recognized. Wangtianshu is famous for its high height and low survival rate. In Mengla County, there is a scenic spot where there are many trees looking up to heaven. Developers who will make money make use of the characteristics of the tree looking up to heaven to artificially build an air corridor at the half height of the tree. A couple carpooling together, especially the woman, felt very thrilling. However, for me who has just participated in outward bound training, it's really too dull. Being criticized by LR students is too PHD. Well, next time I'll try to pretend to be afraid. Generally speaking, Wangtianshu Scenic Area has good natural scenery, beautiful Lake Nanla and rich tropical rain forest scenery. However, it is a three-hour one-way drive from Jinghong city. If time is tight, it is not recommended to go. Let's carpool, 500/4 people, and the carpool driver's master is not bad (I forget his last name, and he is also a small P child). It was fun. He told many stories about his friends taking drugs or Myanmar.

The fifth day Jinuo Shanzhai Buddhist Temple.

Jinuo Shanzhai is the last of 56 ethnic groups, with a total population of more than 20,000. It has its own language, but no written language. Pu 'er tea and rubber trees are their main sources of income. I have to say that the sinicization of ethnic minorities is very serious. The tour guide girl is not only standard in Mandarin, but also mixed with English and online buzzwords. If she doesn't wear national costume, you will never think that she is Jino. This hut is not far from Jinghong city.

The Great Buddha Temple was just built in 1990. It's new, gorgeous and expensive. Donate one hundred yuan. The ticket itself has been 100. It is not recommended to go.

Remarks: 1, I think people there are easy to survive. People in the village have rubber trees, and people in the city can drive taxis. Taxi drivers charge thousands or even tens of thousands a month. So they all live a relaxed and happy life. People there don't believe that "everything is inferior, only reading is high". Of course, no one seems to believe this now. Because it is easy to survive, most people there graduated from middle school and went to a vocational high school at most.

2. Tickets for Banna are basically 100, which is still expensive in my opinion, and the tools for playing, such as cable cars, are also expensive. Some places are not worth going. For example, Daiyuan. We saw that some comrades on the internet suggested not to go, so we didn't plan to go. Later, when I met tourists who shared cars, it was really bad reviews.

3. Make full use of network resources. Of course, there are false advertisements on the internet, but we saved some money by booking hotel air tickets through the website this time. We stayed at the Golden Banna Hotel 160/ day. All aspects of hygiene are ok. Later, I heard that the opposite crown 198/ day is actually much better.

We flew to Kunming first, then flew from Kunming to Banna and came back via Kunming. I should play a little in Kunming, but I didn't. What a pity. Air tickets should be booked in advance. Spring Festival and April (Songkran Festival) are the tourist peaks in Banna.
